Control and Data Acquisition Board

It consists of designing and developing a data acquisition board that integrates and communicates efficiently with certain control software, such as LabView. This project is intended to provide a versatile and educational solution for mechatronic engineering students, especially in the field of instrumentation, control, and monitoring, as well as for enthusiasts and amateurs who want to learn more about control systems and their applications.

This board can be perfectly used, for example, with Arduino and LabView, allowing the creation of data acquisition systems and customized control in a simple and effective way. It also offers various inputs and outputs for data acquisition, allowing the use of different sensors and actuators.

This project is aimed at engineering students to help them learn control systems concepts through in-class practical exercises. The main focus is on the integration of block programming language (LabView), allowing students to experiment and apply theoretical concepts easily, and to carry out exercises in real control systems, such as creating traffic lights, level controls, temperature adjustments in thermal systems, among others.

The development board for control and data acquisition is a versatile and educational solution that will allow students to explore data acquisition and control concepts in a practical and effective way. With its seamless integration into block programming software and its wide range of features, it becomes an essential tool for academic and personal development projects in the field of instrumentation, control, and engineering in general.

With the valuable collaboration of PCBWay, we will be able to successfully materialize this project. PCBWay's support will directly impact the students in our educational institution's Mechatronics program. It will contribute to raising the quality of education and strengthening knowledge in the efficient creation of high-quality printed circuit boards. Our team of students is excited about this collaboration and is committed to working closely with PCBWay to achieve the goals of this project satisfactorily.
